Hi everyone hope that you have enjoyed your Wednesday. I have been tempted by so many goodies on create and craft tv just recently, not that I need anything else!!!!! My little craft area is bursting at the seams - I have so much stuff now that I can never find anything which is soooooo frustrating and I think that is the reason why I am shying away from my craft table. SO with that in mind I have decided not to buy any more craft bits (only essentials like tape and glue), and have a massive sort out in my craft area. So from now on I am using up what I have. Wish me luck as I may get withdrawal symptoms. Here are some cards I have made using stash I already have.

The first 2 are Indigo Blu Alice in Wonderland stamps. On the 1st card I used a mask to add a little interest to the background both cards are stamped withTim Holtz black soot ink and I added a little glitter.

Both these cards are Lilli of the Valley toppers. I have added faux stitching an buttons to the first card and some homemade flowers, faux stitching, a doiley and some cosmic shimmer pva glue home made pearls. The backing papers were from a huge stack of papers that I have had for about 3 years and not touched (I rest my case).

Tuesday was my mums birthday (Happy Birthday). I have attached a few photos of the card and pressies that I made for her. I hope you like them.

I used Indigo Blu "Sew Easy" stamps for this one, I embossed the button pack, the cotton reels and pins. It was Versa fine sepia ink.

The MDF heart was Indigo Blu - I covered it with white so gesso then stamped and embossed the sentiment again with versafine sepia the dandelion seeds are off the indigo blu Wild Meadow range, I glittered them to add a little sparkle and added the flowers and pearl flourish. I was pleased with the finished product and so was mum. ( I hope you was mum!)

Last but not least my first attempt at a sweetie tree. I got all the components from Hobby Craft. I hooe you are all well and enjoying your weekend. Take care and thank you for stopping by.
